I always begin to make a manga/comic..whatever..but then..Im too lazy to continue xD

You really have to push yourself sometimes if you want to finish a comic. Having someone "help" you along (IE: Nag nag nag *shot*) also helps, especially when you (or your partner) are busy/lazy/tired/etc. If you're not careful though it can feel like a chore, that's why when you DO feel creative you make sure to work on as much as you can handle so you give yourself room to slack when you don't feel like working on anything... this really comes in handy if, like us, you have a weekly deadline. The best thing to do though is not to get overwhelmed. Another thing to do is start simple, even if it's a one or two page comic, and find out what works best for you. I know several people who sketch out and ink their comics with pen and paper, I work completely in Photoshop unless I have an idea or two I try to figure out in my sketchbook (which happens a lot surprisingly when I'm at work or on my lunch break), which I scan later and "ink" over on the computer. Most people who do online comics work either in Flash or Illustrator. It's all a personal preference and what you can do with what time/energy you have.Also consider whether you want it black and white or colour, or greyscale with pretty screen tones. I'm only now starting to dabble with screen tones, but I don't find them working or blending to well right now with RtS.. it could change in the future, who knows? Mostly though, setting yourself up for an epic comic right off the bat isn't always a good thing if you're going solo. Like I said, work with what you know you can do and build on it as the comic goes along. I look back on parts of chapter one with mixed emotions because of this.. I was so new at comicing (Truth be told I still don't consider myself an intermediate). Part of me wants to go back and redo the whole thing, but.. that's another thing; Move forward, not back! :D And don't stop practicing!

Also, I know for certain Cressen would win a cook-off. I trust Izzy's cooking about as much as I trust T3's aim. ;p

Does this imply you and John resort to physical abuse if comics or script are not completed on time? XD

Wow..thanks a lot..Now that Im on a school for graphic and design..(dont know how to spell it correctly in english ^^; )I will learn a lot.I try to continue as soon as I can ;)I already have two pages..

Its the fear-The dark is growing inside of me-Don't feed my fear-If you don't want it out

It really does help to have someone along for the ride with you. One, it's an excellent resource for bouncing ideas off of, especially if they're in the same mindset as you (Though I tend to aim for "And in the end, everyone was a cyborg! Even the dog!" first when someone asks that of me. ;p) Sometimes, the comic doesn't turn out quite like I pictured it, but a lot of other times it surprises me in better ways than I could imagine. The power of teamwork!

the teamwork thing is one of the reasons why i like this comic. I have never really done a comic as a team with anyone before.. ive done some collab work on comic designs and stuff, but never had anyone really write for me a script and me complete the whole thing. some day i would like to have that experience as well, it just seems to make the work you guys do stronger.

That'd be my character actually, XD Sometimes when I lack one-shot "background" characters I tend to stick either side characters in there, or have a cameo or two (hense why Cressen got two. lol). She's one I have plans for somewhere down the road, I just haven't gotten around to doing much with. Busybusybusy.
